good work , i dont think i will ever truely understand why some people want to ride such monsterous bikes like that , dont get me wrong i love harleys but not the big ones . my uncle has some kind of fully dressed monster of a harley and just scares me sitting on it , i was scared i was going to knock it over and there wouldnt be a crane big enough to set it back upright

they are surprisingly easy to ride once you get them moving... only thing you have to watch for is getting the steering into full lock at low speeds xP
oh and when dropped... there is a right way to pick up a large bagger like this... you push into it rather then lifting.

Looks really great -- I do have a questions though, as I've never ridden a bike like this: What's it like with those handlebars on the highway? I've seen guys riding with these gigantic 'ape hangers' on the highway, and I could just imagine all the blood draining from their arms, and the wind smacking them in the chest like a stiff breeze against a sail. Could someone ride with those kinds of handlebars for a couple of hours at a time?
they are really nice, only people without ape hangers are those that have not rode a bike with them
the road king has a really low center of gravity is very easy to handle, my wife that is 5'2 maybe 100 lbs has no problem handling one, they are awesome cruising bikes.
12 inch apes like i used on his are not bad, i rock a 16.5 total rise on my bars... yes on the highway after about 3 hours it beats on ya a bit... but any bike will, with the shield on it i can, and have done 8-12 hours strait no problem

Interesting - I always wondered about that, as I've mostly ridden bikes with lower/cafe type bars. Thanks for the info, and once again great work!
